I have been searching google as well as trying out the Google Sketchup 7.1 but all seem to be to complex.

I am wanting to make a floor plan of my school on the computer. pretty much needs only straightlines or boxes, simple text editor. It doesn't need to be 3d or 2d but just some lines on a page. If it had a feature that shows the distance of the line in feet and inches while you are making the line that would be fantastic. Sketchup has this feature.

If there is a program out there that does this, then point me in that direction.

For really simple stuff I just make a grid in Excel, perhaps both lines and columns at 1/2" and call each box 1 foot. Use borders for the vertical and horizontal lines and the drawing tool for angled lines. Text goes in text boxes or cells.

I use the OpenOffice drawing app for this kind of thing. Works great. You can work to scale and just drag out whatever shapes and sizes you need, change colors, outline things, etc, etc. There's also Sweet Home 3D (open source):http://fileforum.bet...Home-3D/1225390503/1
